Hi Everyone! My name is Lisa. I live in Fairfax, very close to Burke. We’ve lived in the area since 2016. Meet our dogs! Both are rescues we have had since they were around one year old. Milo: Milo is a mixed breed from Puerto Rico. He can be a little slow to warm up to new people, but once he knows you, he is very friendly and loyal. Milo is dog selective, but generally gets along with other dogs though it may take a couple days for him to settle. He is medium energy-likes to play, but happy to lounge around too. Moxie: Moxie is a shih tzu from Virginia. She loves everyone and is very low energy. She is the true definition of a lap dog!
